The best climatisers (climatic complexes) for 2020

In the conditions of modern cities overloaded with automobiles and filled with concrete, it is becoming more and more difficult to breathe. The problem is especially acute in summer during the heat, when you so want to sip fresh, cool, free from dust and exhaust gases. But where can I find him? The air conditioner will help in solving this issue. The editorial staff of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" offers you an overview of the best air conditioners for 2020.

Air conditioner - what is it?

An air conditioner is a device that is connected to the mains and during its operation cools the air space, and also removes pollution, saturates it with moisture and oxygen. The popularity of models related to climatic systems is due to the fact that one air conditioner can replace a fan, ionizer, air “washing” and air conditioner. By analogy with the latter, these units are often called mobile air conditioners without an air duct. And this is the main feature of the air conditioner.

Mobile air conditioners with an air duct (monoblocks) need to be directly placed near the window to bring the corrugated pipe to the street and at the same time operate due to the refrigerant circulating through the pipes between the heat exchangers.

Climatic systems without an air duct, in turn, are equipped with a pump, a fan, a dust and dirt filter, a hydraulic filter (with a cooling function), a power regulator and a control panel. The operation of the air conditioner is as follows - ordinary water is poured into the tank until the maximum level is reached, and then the device is turned on. The pump delivers liquid to the cooling radiator, and the blown air flows through the porous, sponge-like radiator and cools. And the installed filters additionally carry out the cleaning process. Thus, the main cooler in such a device is water, not freon. This is the main difference between the air conditioner and the air conditioner. All that is needed for the operation of the airless appliance is only water and electricity.

What kind of air conditioners are there?

The central parameter by which climate systems are distinguished is the installation method.

Installation can be floor or wall mounting type.

A wall-mounted air conditioner saves space, and therefore will be the best option for an apartment, especially a small one.

The floor-standing unit is suitable for a home where there is no need to save space and you can freely place the device.

Next, we will consider the main selection criteria that will help you understand which climate complex is better to buy.

How to choose an air conditioner?

When buying an air conditioner, pay attention to the following parameters:

1. Functional - it includes tasks such as:

• humidification - the main purpose of the air conditioner, since the air in the device is passed through water-wetted filters;
• cleaning - using the same filters, fine dust, smoke and other contaminants are removed;
• ventilation - ensures the circulation of air flows in the room;
• ionization - saturates the air with oxygen, due to which the room is filled with freshness;
• cooling and heating is an addition to the basic set of tasks. Many modern air conditioners are multifunctional devices capable of both cooling air and heating it. There are also models with climate control, which automatically maintains the required temperature.

2. The number of humidification levels - the most common models have one or two modes of operation, which are sufficient to maintain optimal climatic parameters;
3. Number of heating levels - as a rule, air conditioning units capable of heating are equipped with two or three modes of air heating;
4. Filters - the best of them have a honeycomb structure, however, the sets of filter elements may differ depending on the model, for example, you can find air conditioners with photocatalytic filters that do not allow pathogens to pass through. Currently, HEPA filters (provide a high degree of cleaning and removal of allergens), coal filters (they do an excellent job with chemical emissions, harmful compounds and smoke) or air filters (adsorb dust and create a fine aqueous suspension) are most often built into air conditioning systems.

Additional criteria

In order to avoid mistakes when choosing, it is also important to take into account such points as:

• Display - shows operating settings. Expensive devices are equipped with a touch-sensitive display;
• Wheels - designed for easy and convenient transportation of the unit or moving it around the house;
• Timer - allows you to set the on and off times. For example, the settings can be set in such a way that the device turns on and has time to cool the air in the house before its inhabitants return. Some models have a timer with night mode - the device will cool the air temperature to the desired level, and then turn itself off;
• Remote control - the remote control makes operation easier and more comfortable, making it possible to control the device remotely;
• Aromatization - implies the ability to add various fragrances to the water tank, due to which, during the operation of the device, the room will be filled with pleasant aromas;
• Adjustment of the direction of the air flow - carried out using the built-in movable louvers
• Air speed control - allows you to choose how quickly the fan blades will spin and, accordingly, adjust the degree of blowing intensity;
• Indication - indicators of operation mode, temperature, low water level in the tank are possible. The last function in some models implies automatic shutdown when there is not enough liquid in the container, which protects the device from damage;
• Ice compartment - by loading frozen water into it, you can start the intensive cooling mode.

Tips for choosing

1. Before making a purchase, it is necessary to study such a technical document as an instruction for the product, which should indicate in what conditions the device can be used and in which not. The rules for operating the device should also be spelled out there, for example, with what frequency it is necessary to check the condition of the filters, as well as to clean or replace them;
2. Ionization is an important parameter and, as a rule, models equipped with this function are more expensive than others.However, it makes sense to pay for an expensive installation only in those cases when children live in the house or someone from the household has respiratory health problems - allergies, asthma, etc. In all other cases, the presence of ionization is not so essential;
3. The most convenient way to control the device is with the remote control. In this case, any of the family members can use it, including the elderly who find it difficult to master the touch panels. There are also models on the market that are regulated by a smartphone, which in some cases can be very convenient, since most people always have a smartphone at hand;
4. A parameter such as the volume of the tank is an indicator of how often the air conditioner will need to be refilled. More volume - less frequent maintenance, however, this medal has two sides, since the volume of the tank directly affects the total weight and dimensions of the device;
5. The noise level of the device is a very conditional characteristic - what one person finds loud for another can be quite comfortable. Plus, a significant role is played by where exactly the air conditioner is supposed to be placed. It should also be remembered that budget models are often quite loud.
